Head of Planning

ZEEKR is a premium electric vehicle and technology solutions brand from Geely Holding Group, China’s largest privately held automotive company. The ZEEKR brand and its first car, the 001, were unveiled at a brand night prior to Shanghai Auto Show in April 2021. What ZEEKR pursues is to co-create the highest enjoyment for the travel experience of its users. As a global company, ZEEKR employs over 10,000 members of staff, covering China, Europe, North America and other places.

Hand on heart - aren’t you a bit bored with your current, mundane job and yearn for a little more flair and pizzazz? Wouldn’t it be awesome to be part of launching a new premium mobility brand in Europe? If, like us, you thrive in an innovative and fast environment and love to get your hands - but not your car! - dirty, ZEEKR might just be the place for you.

We are now looking for a Head of Planning to join us in our journey to establish ZEEKR in Europe.

This is what you will do most of the time:

Starting from the strategic blueprint developed and owned by the Strategy team, define vehicle planning for long and mid/short-term phases, getting approval from senior management.

- Short term: Lead the go-to-market strategy by defining and implementing the grade strategy
- Mid-term: Lead the product definition by proposing and deciding features, grades, performance, and advanced specs. Coordinate with the digital team the rollout of the connected capabilities (cockpit and connected car)
- Long-term: Lead the creation of new model concepts (body type, performance, design, package, etc.)
- Coordinate and lead the launch management process and activities across functions (marketing, sales, digital, etc.)


You have probably done something like this:

- Educational background in Engineering or Business
- Proven experience in various positions within product planning like carline, cross carline, pricing and sales planning
- Proven experience within the automotive industry (traditional OEM).
- Experience within mobility, connected, consultancy, marketing positions.
- Documented and successful managerial experience leading mid-size team (direct reporting) with the ability to influence senior management decisions


To thrive at ZEEKR we believe that you have the courage to lead with trust and care and you don’t mind getting your hands dirty. You are highly innovative and have a great ability to adapt and perform in a constantly changing, fast-paced, highly demanding work environment. Like us, you believe it’s important to have a passion to work in an international and multicultural environment with the desire and ability to embrace the diversity of people, perspectives, and styles.

We think that you:

- Are resilience with a tendency to regard challenges as opportunities
- Are a team player that initiates collaborations. Your cross-cultural knowledge is vast and you can cooperate effectively with people across cultures
- Have a strong analytical ability, logical mindset and great problem-solving skills
- A strong communicator and fluent in English
